11:26, Friday night. Word count – 2217. I really didn’t think I was going to make that second thousand words happen. Spent the afternoon after work yarn shopping (don’t ask) and going to dinner with friends, and that turned into a long conversation at their place. I had not planned on not getting home until about 10:30, feeling exceptionally sleepy. Maybe even exhausted.

But with a little space and time, I pulled the second thousand out of… my head? I guess?

So… yesterday I threw down the gauntlet and told people I was going to write at least ONE THOUSAND WORDS in TWO DAYS.

And it took me about an hour once I got started. (Embarrassing, really, that something I thought would be so daunting would take so little time… once I got started.)

Content here at MPF has been sparse lately, which is Not A Good Thing.

For the last few months, I’ve been working on a project at the Day Job that was taking a lot of my creative energy – involved a LOT of technical writing, legal consideration, and… you know what? Doesn’t matter. I was busy. Really freaky busy. Yes, yes. I know my Goodreads profile says something about my available time for the last few months.

So now it’s time to reclaim some of that time from the sweet, sweet Kindle-powered content consumption, and start plowing that back toward content CREATION.
